Austin, October 19th
The weather was great. Football class was really fun. I cought many balls. In the endzone! Now I just have to do that at games!
And football practice was great too!
We practiced cutting. More or less jump against the hips or legs of the opponent and make him fall. But somehow i hit all the time the floor with my head, so I had a little haedache after that. Then we had run exercises. And then finally plays. I played x-Receiver and sometimes t - don't ask me what that is. Basically I stand next to the quarterback and do... well I dont know. Run some steps, I guess.
I played about 6 periods, 30 minutes. And about 4 periods without rotating. You really start to sweat after a while. It was warm and playing football can be hard work.
I think the best experience at football today was a weird route, where i had the run 3 yards diagonal, then turn around and to the white line. And because I was so close and the defence was somewhere else - they of course expected me to run about 8 ards or something, that's what you normally do there - i got the ball. So I had the ball and BAM, the defence came to me. I crashed into the first guy, pushed him back, run a few yards, and the next guy ran into me. My shoulder still hurts. And then one or two guys hold me around the hips, so I couldn't ran any more.
'Yeah that's my home-slice!' 'I'm proud of you!' Haha, the guys are cool. Did I tell that? James (if you remember, that's the touchdown machine) calls me often his home-slice.
I'm just happy that I didn't got tackled down in the second I got the ball. Our next opponent is sure not as good as our Varsity defence. Maybe I get then a chance to score.
Spanish was not so interesting. We did something, it's calles magic window. Actually really cool. But the most stuff was boring.
In multimedia we had again a sub, and not really something to do, so I played Minesweeper and Spider Solitaire.
And in theater we saw a episode of Who's line is it anyway? or something. It was wth improv theater, really good, and really really funny.
And I saw my girlfriend! That makes me always happy. The only reason why I'm looking forward to the end of the football season is, we will finally have more time.
Gary made a great supper. Or dinner. Or however it is called here. Supper sounds like soup. Or super. Hmm, the supper was super. Something with shrims and potatoes.
Later I chatted with Lauren and somewhen with Miranda. It's much faster than writing text messages, until 12, then it was time to get ready for bed. School wont start later, if we go later to bed.
Miranda? Muah!
